Bankers loath deflation. Everyone else welcomes lower prices and a higher standard of living. The semiconductor / computer industry enjoyed fifty years of breathtaking deflation without ill effect. Governments around the world must default on massive amounts of debt held by captive national banks. The money supply must consequently contract causing deflation. Bernanke, Draghi, et.al. are merely riders on the storm. The debt cannot be paid.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51991945ecad04633e000023Big MacSun, 19 May 2013 14:26:13 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51991945ecad04633e000023
The price of my Big Mac has not gone down - has yours?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5198ff81ecad041413000005john1066Sun, 19 May 2013 12:36:17 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5198ff81ecad041413000005
Monitory policy only goes so far and only goes to the supply side of the economy.
Fiscal policy can go to both the supply side and the demand side.
Fiscal policy is controlled by the politicians.
Much more needs to be done with fiscal policy.
Much more.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5198dce2ecad04595000000eretail investorSun, 19 May 2013 10:08:34 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5198dce2ecad04595000000e
If this article is true, it means that there is a SERIOUS Transmission mechanism breakdown from fed monetary policies. FED has failed badly and they should stop what they have been doing and work with the government for a more total response. And please stop the wrong idea about creating wealth effect from the stock market, most Americans are even stock investors anymore!
If they really want to print money and wanted inflation that badly, they should just give all americans $500 weekly for a year instead of giving those money to the bankers and elites who circulate the money amongst themselves instead of passing down the wealth.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5198cff9ecad041634000016lawnchairSun, 19 May 2013 09:13:29 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5198cff9ecad041634000016
The US has less 'wage stickiness' in all those facets than did Japan in 1990 or 1995. Which can slow down a deflationary spiral compared to, say, the 1930s. But as Japan shows, it (and even massive countermeasures) doesn't necessarily prevent a slow dripping deflation.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5198cef0eab8ea422d00000cBubba ShawnSun, 19 May 2013 09:09:04 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5198cef0eab8ea422d00000c
After all of the trillions injected into the credit and equity markets deflation is still a threat? Deflation is just what America needs! Prices want to adjust to a natural balance between supply and demand.
Jim Grant should be the next Fed Chairman!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5198bfa0eab8ea2f10000006...Sun, 19 May 2013 08:03:44 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5198bfa0eab8ea2f10000006
Is deflation really a possibility in the US? There are too many price controls, ie. minimum wage, government workers, prevaling wage laws. Any deflation would seem to be minor and fleeting.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5198bda76bb3f7b41200001bLord BlankchequeSun, 19 May 2013 07:55:19 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5198bda76bb3f7b41200001b
Inflation of my mult-imillion dollar compensation package, and deflation of the debt-serfs' wages, retirement accounts, and interest paid on what's left of their savings. Works for me.
